Europeans think they have it hard worrying if their elderly family will die from the summer heat, but they will never know the pain of maintaining a 10 ton, 4 zone HVAC system for your mcmansion.

According to Wikipedia, kyivinsider.com was founded with a grant from European Endowment for Democracy which like its American cousin, National Endowment for Democracy, is an NGO explicitly set up by Western intelligence agencies to push pro NATO narratives.

The people you see with tables full of firearms for sale at gun shows are literally all FFL dealers.

Here is a thought experiment: what if Bernie had won in 2016 and remade the Democratic party in his image the way Trump eventually would?

Would the media and political power centers align with the Republican party?

>subvert an election by any means possible is not yet one of those warts

The Democrats are famous for trying to have 3rd party candidates stripped from ballots. Straining smaller campaigns under the cost of fighting off endless lawsuits.

Democrats invented the term lawfare.

Would love to see SMIC apply for CHIPS act grants. Would be like the time Russia asked to join NATO.

Even in the USA courts have some limited investigation powers over matters under the jurisdiction of the court, for example when a draft of the Dobbs abortion ruling was leaked.

Brazil has dialed this up to 11 by declaring the Internet as being under their jurisdiction. That means they can act as judge, prosecutor, and jury and issue court orders regarding anything that happens on the Internet. There is zero recourse because they are the supreme court.

Laws don't even seem to be applicable at this point. It is one supreme court justice that is issuing court orders as if he were a king.

Durov was forced to divest and flee Russia because he refused to censor and share private info on his users with the Russian government.

Now he has been arrested in France for refusing to censor and share private info on his users with Western governments.

Say what you want be he does stick to his principles.

>Moderna’s results indicating 94% efficacy

Yet strangely every person I know vaccinated or not still got COVID. YouTube banned people for even simple observation like this.

If one needed to re-run electrical wires, I assume you could drill holes and pull new cabling through the walls into the attic space.

If you had to re-run water or sewer, you have to jack hammer the foundation. But that is the same a wood frame homes.

I toured their factory one time and saw some demo print structures. The walls were double layered, spaced out 8-12? Inches. The bead would flip from inner to outer to give lateral support. Inside the walls were insulation. Plumping in Texas is embedded in the foundation but I believe electrical wiring was in the walls as well.

The printing gantry only could move in one axis so building width is limited.
